The Hells Half Acre site is a badlands canyon system eroded out of the rolling high Wyoming prairie. The 300 acre site is a geologists dream with formations eroded by wind and water action that continues today. The mini-gorge is an arid clay environment in which the soil has eroded from wind and rain. The formations are colorful. White creeks run along the canyon floor, black caves dot the cliffs, and alien-looking columns rise above the clay.
